Abstract

<PICT:0868318/III/1> D2O containing dissolved CO2 and irradiation products of CO2 is withdrawn from the cooling circuit of a nuclear reactor through a pipe 15 leading to a distillation column 16 which returns pure D2O to the reactor and passes D2O vapour and CO2 to a stripping column 18 including a reflux condenser. The column 16 is heated by reactor cooling fluid, and its base contains alkali or alkali metal carbonate dissolved in D2O so that irradiation products are absorbed as oxalate or formate; an oxidising agent may be added to form D2O and CO2 from acidic irradiation products. Pure D2O is returned from the base of column 18 while CO2 saturated with D2 is compressed and returned to the CO1 system, which is used to pressurise the D2O in the reactor.
